The Podem Xàbia collective asked, last Thursday in the plenary session, about the reduction to 64 public homes of the 153 that the previous local government planned to build, which means 89 fewer VPOs to be built in Xàbia. Faced with this issue, the mayor justified this reduction "because the majority of the plots transferred by the previous municipal government are not adequate."
From Podem Xàbia they ask “why two thirds – a very high proportion – of the plots were not suitable. What administration decided that they were not and, above all, why have other lands not been offered immediately?
The purple formation emphasizes that "double of what is intended to be built has disappeared and that it is greatly needed in Xàbia so that people can access housing. "It is a right anchored in the Constitution."
If we go back to the beginning of this issue, in December 2022 the construction of 153 VPOs is announced. Subsequently, a few months ago, at the beginning of April, it was confirmed that within the 'Pla Viu Comunitat Valenciana', there will be 64 public affordable rental homes that will be carried out in Xàbia.
Faced with these issues, the mayor of Xàbia, Rosa Cardona, explains that initially four plots were offered, and this week the transfer of three plots in the area located next to the Trenc d'Alba School was formalized. «It was the technicians of the Generalitat who ruled out the fourth because it did not meet the conditions of the site. Hence, 64 homes are built.
Transfer of more plots for VPO
Likewise, Cardona announced that the Consell intends for the homes "to be innovative, energy efficient and sustainable."
But, on the other hand, in a recent meeting with the Department, the first mayor conveyed the critical situation that exists in terms of housing in Xàbia, and the next steps to be taken will be to make more plots of the municipal area available to the Generalitat for be able to enable more affordable housing.
A place on the coast where it is impossible to go to the beach, given the number of people there, is a failure of a place.
Everything has gone wrong in Jávea.
And we continue to allow construction to continue as if there were no tomorrow.
Jávea is unbearable.
